Who: Michelle & Elliot | When: August 2021 | Where: Langley Park Marquee

Michelle and Elliot had their wedding at the recently restored Langley Park. Originally due to have a destination wedding, they decided instead to stay in the UK for a full week of festivities at this 18th Century Georgian listed mansion located between Tetbury and Chippenham. Sitting in almost 100 acres of gardens, parkland and pasture, the location had several perfect areas for the celebrations to take place.

First up was a welcome party on the main lawn. The couple chose canapés and one of our famous Patisserie bars, served alongside a selection of cocktails. The beautiful ceremony itself was hosted in the walled garden, followed by drinks around the pool. Guests were then welcomed into the marquee for dinner and drinks throughout the evening before retiring to the cellar bar for an after-party.

The couple worked with the talented Holly Episkopou from Wonderlust Events to bring their dream wedding to life. Her vision came through in creating a gorgeous ceremony area and a spectacular marquee design for all the guests. Chandelier light installations above the tables were incredible. Switched on for the speeches as it started getting darker created a glorious mood.

Magical menu

As self-confessed ‘foodies’ Michelle and Elliot admitted that food was a huge part of the wedding for them. From welcome canapés to late night evening food as the party drew to a close, guests were treated to a varied menu. Highlights included herb roasted chicken breast with thyme butter fondant, wild mushrooms and pea velouté for the main and as the bride and groom both loved crab, we created a bespoke crab arancini as a starter for the wedding breakfast.

Kind words

Afterwards, the couple fed back with kind words about their day:

‘“Best wedding food I’ve ever had!” The words of many of our wedding guests. We had such a great experience with Kalm Kitchen. We found Kalm to be a very bespoke and tailored service to ensure our day was exactly how we wanted it to be.

From replanning our wedding in the UK with only a few months to go, they were so accommodating. The food tasting was such a pleasant and exciting experience, we loved absolutely everything that the chef made. This really was one of the best parts of the planning process. 
 
Pete was especially amazing, his communication and attention to detail was over and above anything we expected. He made us feel so confident that our day was in safe hands, and helped to visualise how it would all work.

On our wedding day, the staff were all incredible, nothing was too much. They always made sure my husband and I were looked after, and the guests were so impressed. 
 
Anytime we host an event in the future we will most certainly return to Kalm Kitchen.”
